With many castigating the Gernot Rohr-led team for a poor showing, saying the result was a reflection of Super Eagles below-par readiness for the World Cup finals in Russian Federation in June, Bonfrere reasoned otherwise, saying the defeat was important for the team to realise that there are still much more work to be done before the World Cup.
